Preparing for installation

Trellix highly recommends that you deploy your Endpoint Security (HX) software before deploying your agent software.

Before you install Endpoint Security Agent (HX), consider the following:

Task	Instructions
Ensure that you have whitelisted Endpoint Security Agent (HX) files in your third-party antivirus software packages.	See Before you install or upgrade the agent software.
Determine whether to install agent software manually on individual host endpoints, or use an enterprise-wide deployment software, such as BigFix or SCCM for Windows, or JAMF for Mac.	See Installing the agent installation package.
Are you deploying agents in a VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) environment?	See Deploying agents in a VDI environment.
Does your enterprise use an HTTPS proxy server to allow endpoints on your network to access the Internet?	See Agent HTTPS proxy support.
Will you configure the Removal Protection Password to keep your agents secure and prevent unauthorized removal of the agent software from endpoints in your enterprise?	See Configuring the agent removal protection password.
Do you plan to turn off Tamper Protection or do you want the local admin to be able to stop the agent?	See Agent protection.
